A VERY AGREEABLE CUSTOM.
Say Christ Is Risen" to Russian Girl
and She Kisses You.
From the Nelc York ste


From the Nelc York Star.
The British Apollo, -" when asked why kissing
was so popular, what its benefit, and who its
inventor, replied, "Ah. madam, had you a
lover you would not come TO Apollo for a solu-
ton, since there is no dispute but the kisses Of
mutual lovers give infinite satisfaction. AS to
its invention, it is certain thai nature was its
author, and it began with the first courtship"
1t seems difficult to conceive of a time when
kissing unknown in this island, and yet a
Scandinavian tradition states that kissing was
first introduced into England by Rowena the
beautiful daughter of Hengist. In Edward
" reign it was usual for a guest. both on his
arrival and at his departure, to kiss his hostess
and all the ladies Of her family. Again, in
Henry's time, when CavendiSh visited a French
noDeman at his own chateau, the mistress
of the house, at the head of her maidenS
thus greeted him: For as much as We
be an Englishman, whose custom it is in
your country to kiss all ladies and gentle
women without offenSe, and although ii be not
so here in this realm, yet will | be So bold as
to kiss you, and so shall all my madens.
Erasmus, grave and staid scholar as he was
writes enthusiastically of the practice: If you
go to any place you are received with kiss by
all; if you depart on a journey you are dis
missed with a kiss; you retmn--lEiSseS are eX-
changed; they come to visit you-a kiss the first
thing: they leave yOu-YOu kiss them all round
Do they meet you anywhere-lc kisses in abund-
ance. Lastly, wherever you move. there is moth
ing but ldSses-and if you had but once tasted
them! How soft they are-how fragrant on
my honor you would not wish to reside here for
ten years only, but for life.
In Russia the Easter salutation is a kiss. Each
member of the family salutes the other; chance
acquaintance on meeting kiss principals kiss
their employees; the general kisses his officers
the officers kiss their soldiers the Gar kisses
his family, retnue, court and attendants and
even his officers on parade, the sentinels at the
palace gates and select party of private sol
ders probably deliberately prepared for this
royal salute" In other parts the poorest serf,
meeting hghborn dame in the street, has but
to say, Christ is RISEN and he will receive a
kiss and the reply, He is risen truly"

The indications that Congress will have to
tinker the interstate commerce law next
| winter are accommodating. It's crudty is
daily becoming more apparent. It's most
| important feature has been suspended so far
as a very large portion of the country is
concerned and protests and petitions with
out number are being sent to the commits
! sion in which it is pointed out that indus
tries and business enterprises of one kind
and another will be ruined unless relief is
! granted. IL is asserted that many of the
manufacturing interests of Pennsylvania
will be paralyzed if the law is enforced, be
| cause these interests depend for existence
almost wholly upon discriminating trans
port alton rates. The same condition of af-
fairs exists in other sections of the country.
The recent decision of Judge Deadly,
of the United States Circuit Court,
of Oregon, relative to the transporta-
ton of freight from Oregon to San
Francisco, is attracting considerable at
tention 1t is the first decision under the
interstate commerce act, and defeats one
of the objects which the law was intended to
accomplish. The Oregon and California
railroad, which is wholly within Oregon, is
carrying freight for San Francisco from
points along its line to Portland for less
than it is charging for freight from the
same points intended for Portland. The
freight for San Francisco is taken to
that city by a line of steamers which
is not under the control of the railroad com
pany. Judge Deadly holds that the inter
state commerce law is not being violated,
although there is a clear discrimination in
favor of the San Francisco freight IT,
however, the steamship line and the rail
road were under one management such dis
elimination would not he permitted Ac-
cording to this decision the Central railroad
of this State cannot charge less for freight
intended for New York from Macon to this
city than it can for freight from Macon in
tended for this city because it controls the
steamship line to New York. but if the Sa-
vannah. Dublin and Western were cen
stIucted to Macon that road could make
whatever rate it pleased for New York
freight from Macon or any other point on
its line, to this city.
Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania. says
that he thinks that the friends of the inter
state commerce law are finding out that the
running of the railroads by an act of Con
gress is going a little too far in the line of
governmental interference with private bust
ness and private rights The suspension of
the long and short haul provision, so far as
the South is concerned, is, in his opinion, an
admission of the impracticability of the
underlying theory of the act. Senator Cam
eron voted against the act, however, and
hence is not anxious for it to be successful.

deal of reason in what he saws

ANTI-BRITAIN.
A Gang of Nine Men Attempt to De-
stroy British Symbols in Boston.

A Gang of Nine Men Attempt to De-
stroy British Symbols in Boston.
Boston, June 22.-An attempt was made
about O'Clock this morning by a gang of
nine men to pull down the figures of a lion
and unicorn which decorate the front of the
old State House. Whoever fastened ropes
TO the effigies was evidently familiar with
the building. The side door was forced and
access to the roof was thus gained. When
the roof is reached, the distance to the fig
ures mentioned is encompassed with many
dangers, but they seem to have been braved
by at least two men, one of whom fastened a
rope TO the lion, and another man arope to the
unicorn The basement is occupied by the
Mutual District Telegraph Company, which
is open all night. Tie marauders locked
the Mutual District employees in before at
tempting their work. The manager noticed
the unusual sight of a number of men in
the street pulling at the ropes and availed
himself of a side door which the invaders
did not know Of As soon as he made his
appearance the men at the ropes fed. A de-
tail of climbing firemen was necessary to
remove the lines from the figures. The ac-
ton was of course, it is intimated, con-
nected with the antagonistic feeling toward
the celebration of the Queens jubilee in
Faneuil Hall last night.

M1LLEDGEvILLE's CADETS.
Yesterdays Exercises-Prise Drill ana
DR.. Hawthorne's Address

Yesterdays Exercises Drill ana
DR.. Hawthornes Address.
MILLEDGEvILLE, GA. June 22.-Yester-
days commencement exercises were conclu-
ded by prize drill in the manual Of arms,
in the afternoon, and a concert by the
young ladies at night. The drill was highly
interesting and hotly contested one, lasting
over an hour AT the expiration of that
time three cadets, Sergeants Hubert and
Wilson and Private Skinner, remained.
Sergeant Hubert was finally declared the
victor, and was awarded the handsome
medal presented TO the corps by Mr.. Belan,
of Macon. Sergeant Hubert has won the
medal for two consecutive years, and is one
of the finest drilled men in the State. The
concert was very successful and was much
enjoyed by the large crowd present.
This commencement was ushered in by the
booming of cannon. At 10:45 o'clock the
rostrum was occupied by many prominent
gentlemen, notably among whom was DR..
Hawthorne, of Atlanta, the orator of the
occasion. DIR. Hawthorne's subject was the
duty of the new South in reverencing and
proiiting by the example of the men of the
old South and was in every respect masteT
piece The doctor excelled himself in tn

South and made profound impression. He
preference to thirty-four other invitations to
deliver the commencement addresses. At the
close of DIR. Hawthornes address the diplo-
mas were awarded to the twelve graduating
students by Gen. HILL and the prizes in the
lower departments were awarded the sue
cessful competitors by Rev. Mr.. Chapman,
of Milledgeville.
This afternoon an exhibition drill by Geor-
gia champions wa9 given to an immense audi
ence, who cheered Che drill very enthusi as
tically. Over 100 ex-cadets formed in line
under Lieut.. Kenan, a former commander,
and marched on She parade ground during
the drill After the final dress parade
salute of thirteen guns was fired and the
greatest commencement that this college
has ever witnessed was brought to a close.
The year has been very successful one,
over 430 students having been enrolled.
Tonight banquet and ball is being given
TO the ex-cadets from all over the State by
the citizens, and seems to be greatly enjoyed
by all
